Chapter 419 - The Medici Castle (1/2)

After the pre-production meeting, Terry and Jean discussed about Terry's film project at the penthouse. Jean gave some inputs that were based on his 20 years of experience in the movie industry.

Both of them seemed very well suited in discussing the film together. After they finished, Jean invited Terry to have a drink together at Sky Bar. When they were walking together, both of them really look like brothers because of the similarities in their appearance and age.

The waiters at Sky Bar who recognized Jean were very happy to see him. They repeatedly tried to find opportunities to pass and observe the beautiful man.

The guests who saw them walk towards the Jade table, which was located at the most exclusive corner at the end of the premise as it faced the glass wall that presented the magnificent view of the city lights from the 100th floor, also almost held their breath as the two men passed.

”After graduation, will you go to Germany and help Caspar?” Jean asked, sipping his wine. ”You don't mind?”

Terry shook his head. ”I also love business. For me, film is art and it makes me happy, and I pursue it because in the past I always wanted to be closer to your world, Dad.”

”You don't like me retiring?”

”Ahahaha ... if that makes you happy, of course I will support it. I believe people have professions and interests that change over decades. Uncle Caspar had also been a theater actor in ancient times before he became a doctor, then a painter, then a war strategist, etc. With the life we ​​have now, the possibilities are endless.”

Jean nodded. ”I am glad to hear that.”

Terry had seen changes in Jean's attitude in the past few days and he had wanted to ask about it, but only tonight he had the chance.

”Dad, did something happen?” he asked Jean after a long pause.

Jean looked at Terry for a long time and then shook his head. ”I'm glad you have two fathers, uhm ... three. Your father who raised you since you were a baby,  me - your biological father, and a good 'stepfather' like Caspar. I think he is an extraordinary man and I hope you can make him your role model.

He used to be an irresponsible womanizer, but when he met Finland, he changed for the better. I think his current version is what a man, husband, and father should be, and he should be used as an example. When you live your life and when you fall in love, I hope you won't hesitate and can clearly know what you want. ”

Terry understood what his father meant. Surely Jean still felt guilty about breaking up with Billie.

”You don't have to worry,” Terry said with a soothing smile, ”I have good role models, Daddy Kendrick loved my mom and they survived decades of marriage even without children, until finally I was born through the IVF procedure. Uncle Caspar and you, my own father, also gave me a good example. I won't turn into a jerk. I will learn from your experience.”

He then lowered his head, thinking about Rosemary who was responsible for Aleksis' accident. Rosemary would be the last girl he hurt. Until now, no one knew what had happened between them, except Aleksis, and Terry still felt very guilty.

He felt that after the recent events, he would not play with fire anymore with any woman.

”In two weeks Billie will have her concert in Singapore. She will give some tickets for us, so you can ask your friends to come along.”
